B1) Is moddable with negligible difficulty for the PC version of the game, and just a few shades more difficulty for the X-Box version.
B2) Was already completed long before Oblivion even went gold. As were most of their other overpriced upcoming expansions, I'll wager.

Not to mention that Horse Armor went on sale before they bothered to implement horse reins. Players still gallop around with arms in "I am holding reins" position, but no reins. Hmmm... sounds like quality support.

Quick response before I leave. I am not 100% on this, but from my limited exposure to xbox live, this is my take:

Its because of the Xbox 360. They are charging people for market place mods, and they can't give it to the PC people for free and still charge the console people. You will see a lot of this, the xbox 360 market place is ment for developers to offer Mod like content at a premium for the console market. Thats my take on the situation anyway.

I'm so sorry for poor Bethesda, forced by evil Microsoft to charge extra money for trivial updates...

Seriously, I hope noone buys those things. I would have expected Bethesda to release some seriously needed patches, instead they have the guts to offer things at 2.50$ that other companies provide for free.

A language patch for the non english versions. As I said before, the translation is terrible, many of the german texts make no sense at all, are half english half german. I heard similar things from the french version, so I assume that it's not only us.

I understand that those people that create the new content are not the people that would be working on such a patch.
